No Power
The device remains completely dead, powers briefly or restarts repeatedly.
Tech Lab provides specialist logic-board diagnosis, component-level repair and microsoldering for phones, tablets, laptops, MacBooks and game consoles. We investigate faults that cannot normally be resolved through a straightforward replacement part.
Common cases include devices with no power, charging failure, liquid damage, short circuits, damaged ports, failed components, previous repair attempts and important data trapped on a non-working device.
Tech Lab is a family-run, independent technology repair business based in Worthing, West Sussex. We have been repairing consumer technology since 2018 and support both local customers and customers using our UK-wide mail-in service.
Our work covers everyday repairs such as screens, batteries and charging parts, as well as advanced faults involving logic boards, liquid damage, no-power conditions, damaged connectors and data-recovery cases.
We do not describe every non-working device as a board fault. The first step is diagnosis. Where the problem is caused by a replaceable part, we will advise that route. Where the board itself is damaged, we can assess whether component-level repair is suitable.
This workshop video gives customers a closer look at the type of detailed repair work carried out at Tech Lab. Board-level repair involves careful inspection, electrical diagnosis and microsoldering rather than simply replacing the complete motherboard.
The exact method varies by device and fault. We test the reported symptoms, inspect the board and identify the failed circuit or damaged component before confirming whether repair is technically suitable.
The video shows an example of our workshop activity. Every repair is assessed individually, and the method, cost, turnaround and outcome depend on the device and the extent of the fault.
The same symptom can have several causes. These are common reasons customers submit devices for board-level assessment.
The device remains completely dead, powers briefly or restarts repeatedly.
The device will not charge, only charges intermittently or rejects suitable chargers.
Corrosion, short circuits or failed components after water or drink exposure.
USB-C, HDMI, charging or internal connectors detached from the board.
The device powers on but shows no image, backlight or stable display output.
Excessive current draw, hot components or a shorted power rail.
Damaged pads, missing components or incomplete work from an earlier repair.
Important data cannot be accessed because the original device will not start.

Logic Board Repair
Logic-board faults vary between devices and models. Tell us the exact model, symptoms, accidental damage and details of any previous repair work. We will review the information and advise whether the device can be submitted for diagnosis.
Board-level repairs require diagnosis before the exact cause and suitable repair can be confirmed.
Tell us the model, symptoms, liquid exposure and any previous work.
Visit our Worthing workshop or use the UK-wide mail-in service.
We assess the fault and confirm the next step before chargeable work proceeds.
Approved work is completed and the device is tested before collection or return.
On some phones, tablets and newer computers, important data is tied to components on the original logic board. Replacing the whole board may create a working device but will not normally restore access to the original stored data.
Board-level recovery may be considered where a device is physically damaged, liquid damaged or completely dead but the original storage and security components remain recoverable.
Data recovery cannot be guaranteed. Success depends on the condition of the board, storage components, security chips, previous repair attempts and the extent of corrosion or physical damage.
Repair availability depends on the model, fault, component availability and condition of the original board.
Both options provide access to the same Worthing workshop and board-level repair service.
Our aim is to identify the actual fault and explain the available repair route before complex work proceeds.
Family-run and based in Worthing, West Sussex.
Microsoldering, electrical diagnosis and component repair.
Worthing drop-off and nationwide mail-in options.
Qualifying logic-board repairs normally include 30-day warranty cover.
A logic-board repair involves diagnosing and repairing faults within the device’s main circuit board. This may include replacing failed components, repairing damaged traces or pads, restoring connectors and locating short circuits.
No. A dead device may have a battery, charging-port, power-supply or other replaceable-part fault. Diagnosis is needed before the correct repair route can be confirmed.
Selected liquid-damaged boards can be assessed for corrosion, short circuits and failed components. The outcome depends on the severity of the damage and whether critical components remain functional.
We can assess selected previous repair attempts. Please tell us what work was attempted and whether any components, shields, screws or connectors are missing.
In some cases, repairing the original board can restore temporary or permanent access to the data. Recovery cannot be guaranteed and depends on the condition of the original storage and security components.
Complex repairs commonly take around five to seven working days, although some cases take longer depending on diagnosis, component availability, workload and previous damage.
Qualifying logic-board repairs normally include 30-day warranty cover. The applicable warranty is confirmed for the individual repair.
Yes. Customers throughout the UK can use the mail-in repair service. Complete the online form and follow the packaging and postage instructions.
Tell us the device model, symptoms, accidental damage and any previous repair work. We will review the information and advise whether the device should be submitted for board-level diagnosis.
